Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book offers a straightforward guide to making a chair using easily obtainable or self-constructed tools. Mike Abbott began teaching traditional Victorian chair-making techniques in 1985, and after the success of his earlier works, he embraces modern methods in this third book. With over 600 color photographs, he provides a step-by-step approach covering essential tools and techniques for cleaving, shaping, and assembling a chair, as well as constructing simple homemade devices to facilitate the process. Readers will learn to make three stools and three uniquely characterized chairs. This guide is not aimed solely at cabinet-makers; instead, it caters to anyone passionate about trees and wood, inviting them to engage in the rewarding experience of transforming a tree into a personal chair. The revised second edition incorporates feedback from readers and students, updating sections on drilling and steam-bending, and providing measurements in both inches and metric. A significant enhancement is the expanded chapter on seat-weaving, which now features detailed instructions for three patterns using Danish cord and fiber rush, along with illustrations of over 20 variations in these and other materials, many previously unpublished.
